Fantasy Baseball Mock Draft: Michael Harris II, Freddy Peralta, Seiya Suzuki, Jorge Soler (2024)

As we ramp up the fantasy baseball draft season, the time to mock draft is now. Most take part in mock drafts to find out the best potential plan of attack to achieve the best draft results. Of course, the results can vary based on draft spot, league competition and more.

My task in these upcoming articles is to take part in quick mock drafts using the FantasyPros Mock Draft Simulator. I will draft from the front, middle and back of the draft, discussing the results and other potential picks available in that part.

In the end, remember these are just mock drafts and should be used to help build a better player pool concept. Hopefully, they also help readers realize when to target pitchers, certain hitting positions and more. Let’s look at my results for picking 10th in a 12-team mock draft. And below we dive into a few notable names selected.

Fantasy Baseball Mock Draft: Late Pick (2024)

Results

The lineup for this 12-team draft is two C, 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, CI, MI, five OF, UTIL, eight P and four BN, conducted using the FantasyPros Mock Draft Simulator.

3.10: Michael Harris II (OF – ATL)

I’ll usually look to get a starting pitcher here, but Michael Harris II falling to the late third round is outstanding. Harris II brings a 20/20 skill set with elite batting average skills. He has hit .293 and .297 over his first two seasons. Adding that batting average skill with Freeman’s gives any fantasy team a massive edge in the category going forward.

Others Considered: Pablo Lopez (SP – MIN)

6.3: Freddy Peralta (SP – MIL)

Freddy Peralta finally threw over 150 innings last year, racking up 165.2 innings. He was among the best pitchers in the second half last year with a 2.81 ERA, 2.92 FIP, 2.54 xFIP and an incredible 36.3% K-BB. If Peralta can continue his second-half success, he’s a phenomenal SP2 on any fantasy team.

Others Considered: Grayson Rodriguez (SP – BAL)

9.10: Seiya Suzuki (OF – CHC)

Seiya Suzuki had a lovely first season in the Majors. It started a bit rough as he battled injuries, but the second half is what we should expect from Suzuki going forward. He hit .313 in the second half with 13 home runs, a .254 ISO and 149 wRC+. Suzuki is one of the better values in drafts and is excellent in this five-outfield format.

Others Considered: Josh Naylor (1B – CLE)

14.3: Jorge Soler (OF – SF)

Power is a category that is harder and harder to add as the draft goes on, so adding a 30-home run bat in Jorge Soler is a priority. Even after joining the Giants, Soler should still add plenty of power and run production without destroying your batting average.

Others Considered: Chas McCormick (OF – HOU)
